I wanted to read flip because it was bigger and usually bigger books have a lot of detail and I like that. One exiting thing was when Ryan the main character turned into Gandhi. He got beat up for trying to make peace.I would recommend the book if you like longer books.It is still a really good book.

Mvp inventions
My mvp invention is the toilet. I use a toilet eveyday. The person who made the first toilet was Al-Jazari. But there was one that was made by Sir John Harington and only the queen of England could use it. In 1880 the company owned by Thomas Crapper made flushing toilets. The flushing toilet is good because you can use the bathroom in the house instead of outside. It is usually white with a handle on the side for flushing.

I really like to read about greek and roman gods. My favorite is greek gods. I like greek gods because they are more friendly and the demigod heros have better and more interesting stories. The roman gods are more like war gods because in mythology the roman gods have been known to kill humans for the fun of it. Some of the roman gods have the same name as the planets. I like percy jackson because it is about greek gods.

My favorite poetic device is probably end rhyme. I like it because it is cool to say it. My favorite author is Shel Silverstein. My favorite book is Where the sidewalk ends. I also liked Jack Prelutsky, and Ken Nesbit. I use onimonipia and end rhyme the most in my poems.

Why aren't hamburgers made of ham?
Sailors who traveled from Hamburg Germany to the United States often ate slabs of ground beef, and they named them " Hamburg Steak". People have so many opinions on who came up with the hamburger. People first started to put buns on hamburgers in the late 1800s. The hamburger Hall of Fame in Wiconsin thinks a guy named Charles Negreen. His customers said they would like his meatballs if they were more portable so he put ground beef in between 2 slices of bread. Here is one example that hamburgers are very liked by people. A man in Japan ate 10 hamburgers in three minutes. That is amazing!
Hamburg- A place in Germany
Ground Beef- What a hamburger is made of
Sailors- The people who first ate the hamburger but with out the buns

Belarus
I am doing Belarus for my blog. In Belarus straw is very important. They make their ornaments out of straw, and they put straw on the table to remmind them of the hay that was in Jesus's manger. The hay is also used for fortune telling between Christmas and New Years. Adults pick a piece of straw and that predicts their future, but girls play a game where if two mirrors are put in a position they will see their future husband.I hope you liked my blog!

George Washington Spymaster
What has happened so far in George Washington Spymaster is General Washington is battling against the British and has sent spies to get information. Being a spy is a very dangerous job because if you were found the sentence is hanging. George Washington found out that some of his most trusted friends were British spies. George Washington found a scientist that could make an invisible ink that was difficult to uncover unless you were a American soldier and already knew how to uncover the codes underneath. That has happened so far in George Washington Spymaster.

Showing my smarts
My smarts are spatial and bodily-kinethstetic. A place I could show spatial is in science, because I could draw the diagrams very well and get a good notebook grade. I could show bodily-kinethstetic by bulding something for the plays or biulding something good for the egg drop this year. Those are some ways I could show my smarts.

I think that it is really good that kids can work the way they do best. If they learn that way they won't have to learn the way they may not excel at. Also kids can have a lot more fun that way. I liked the smart ville, because that is a very cool thing for them to do. I think that a lot more schools should do what that school does. :)

On my test I had more checks in the Spatial and Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence categories. Spatial means that you enjoy art and architecture and things like that. Bodily-Kinesthetic means that you enjoy outdoor activities. For Bodily-Kinesthetic I play some sports like baseball,basketball,football,and soccer. For Spatial I like to draw at home and I like colored things not dull things.

Vermont is my state and it is very cold up there. The interesting thing about Vermont is that Ben and Jerry's is originally started in Vermont. Vermont produces the most maple syrup in the United States. Vermont's state recipe is snow cream covered in maple syrup then you are supposed to take a bite of a dill pickle. The state capital is Montpelier. Those are some things about Vermont.
